On the occasion of the Nashville Scene twentieth anniversary party, our big swingin' marketing department (or someone equally ossum) landed us a cocktail custom-crafted for the occasion, The Cover Story.
It was the first party I've attended with its own signature drink, since I'm old school. (And I love the way that adding "school" to "old" makes me seem so much younger.)
Back in the day (by which I mean 20 years ago), you signaled your sophistication by drinking California wine, or better yet, Spanish or Italian wine, instead of Singapore Slings or keg beer. Signature cocktails are a trend I'm totally down with, except that I hate to end a sentence with a preposition.
There were even little recipe cards. Thanks, marketing and Big Mike.
